Our Suite Of Services
Midwifery and Home Birth Services
Autonomy, comfort, and naturally-minded care are just the beginning of the benefits you can expect from my Wild Moon midwifery care. Your fertility and pregnancy appointments take place in my cozy, private office...where may find yourself sipping on a cup of herbal tea, receiving a relaxing foot rub, or learning a new technique to help you in labor. Your labor, birth, postpartum, and newborn care take place where you and your baby are most at ease— in the comfort of your own home.
Throughout care, I will be tracking your vitals, lab values, and the baby’s development, ensuring that your pregnancy is developing normally. There are many decisions to make during pregnancy about your care and your baby’s care. As your midwife, my role is to give you the information and support you need to make authentic choices for yourself and your family.
Together we work to bring you and your partner to a new level of health and wellness as you prepare to conceive and grow your family. I recommend you give yourselves 3-6 months to optimally prepare for a new conception. During this time, I will support you in an individualized program that may include:-detoxification and cleansing-nutrition for fertility and pregnancy-bodywork to restore optimal uterine position and pelvic floor health-daily movement and activity recommendations-prescribed time spent in nature-performing or referring for any lab work you choose to do, such as genetic carrier screens or checking blood nutrient or hormone levels. I also have a one-month pre-conception protocol to enhance fertility and boost reproductive health.
Prenatal care with a midwife typically begins between 8-16 weeks of pregnancy, and those who begin midwifery care early in pregnancy definitely receive the most benefit. My prenatal care can be as hands-on or hands-off as you desire. If you long for an uninterrupted birth, with minimal intervention throughout care, I support you. If you want all the latest diagnostic tests, genetic screening, and routine ultrasounds to make your fully informed decisions, I support you. I want you to listen to your body and your baby, follow YOUR inner wisdom, and move through pregnancy and birth your way…after all, it’s your journey and doing it in your own unique way is a powerful part of claiming your place as a parent.
I offer free pregnancy testing to anyone who desires it, and a complimentary initial consultation to see if my care is a good fit for you and your growing family.

I come fully equipped to care for you and your newborn in the comfort of your own home during the first two weeks after birth. I perform all the necessary newborn exams and screenings, help you settle into breastfeeding and caring for your new baby, and help facilitate a healthy and regenerative postpartum journey.
Support for Hospital Birth
The time following the birth of your baby is an important time because the way in which a new baby transitions into a family has a lasting impact on both the physical and emotional health of mom, partner and siblings. Our services allow us to truly support you during postpartum. With services to assist in healing, wellbeing and breastfeeding, you can be continuously supported long after childbirth.
Bodywork for the Childbearing Cycle
Specialized bodywork techniques along with a wealth of midwifery knowledge will help bring ease and flow to every step of your childbearing journey. Many of the most common (and not so common) challenges you might experience with fertility, pregnancy, labor, and postpartum resolve when your natural alignment is restored.

If there could be only one person at my side during a time of initiation, if I had to share my scariest secret with only one person, I would surely choose Christina. With the greatest integrity, Christina has walked beside me during many life transitions. I have called for her help with miscarriage, pregnancy and postpartum support and other major life moments. She has held space for me to explore the vast expanses of my soul, time and time again, in a safe, trustworthy, humorous, true way. I find myself walking away after being with her as a more beautiful human being, understanding myself better, giving myself more permission, with a desire to create lovely things, and in a restored state of health. She is highly practical and has intellectual understanding of what she offers as well as a depth of wisdom coming from deep within herself and informed by her encounters with nature.” -L.K.
